Intel is NOT Transparent Again!

Recent headlines suggest that Intel was not transparent about some of the products they showed at the CES keynote. Intel confirmed on Friday that they used ARM-based chips for some of the products but would not say which ones. When your company’s tag line is “Intel Inside” and you hold up a product during your keynote wouldn't one assume that Intel was actually inside?

Today saying someone is not transparent really means they are being deceptive and when that someone is the CEO of a publicly traded semiconductor company it is serious business, my opinion. Even more glaring is the Intel claim of a 35% density advantage over TSMC at 14nm. This was presented during the November 21st 2013 Intel analyst meeting.
